Weight Calculation
Shipment charges are calculated using either actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher.
1. Actual Weight (Gross Weight)
The physical weight of the shipment measured on a weighing scale, including packaging.
Example: A box of steel parts weighs 50 kg and occupies little space. Charges are therefore based on its actual weight.
2. Volumetric Weight (Dimensional Weight)
A calculated weight based on the space occupied by a shipment rather than its physical mass.
Example: A carton weighs 10 kg but has a volumetric weight of 25 kg. Charges apply to 25 kg.
Volumetric Weight (kg) = Length × Width × Height (cm) ÷ 5000
Chargeable Weight Rule
- Actual weight or volumetric weight, whichever is higher, will be charged.
- A fraction above 100 grams will be rounded to the next kilogram.
- Example: 1.101 kg will be considered 2 kg, and 2.101 kg will be considered 3 kg.
